Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Miserere nobis

“I will entrust all
my anxieties to the Heart of the good Jesus, and He will support me without fail. And so, adorable Jesus, having found this Heart of yours,
which is mine also, I will pray to you, my God. Let my prayers enter into that
sacred Shrine where they will be heard: indeed draw me entirely into Your Heart.”

- St. Bonaventure

O my Jesus who didst say: “Indeed I say to you, ask and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.” Here I am, knocking, seeking, and asking the grace (mention your request).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be…

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,I place all my trust in Thee.

O my Jesus who didst say: “Indeed I say to you, whatever you shall ask the Father in My name, it shall be granted to you.” Here I am, asking Thy Father in Thy name for the grace (mention your request).

O my Jesus who didst say: “Indeed I say to you, heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.” Here I am, and supporting myself on the infallibility of Thy words, I ask Thee the grace (mention your request).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be… Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee.

Prayer

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom only one thing is impossible and that is not to feel compassion for the wretched, have pity on us, miserable sinners, and grant us the grace which we ask Thee through the Immaculate Heart of She who is Thy tender Mother and also ours. Hail Holy Queen…

This was written by St. Alphonsus, but remained
unpublished till 1875.

O amiable Heart of my Saviour! Thou art the seat of all
virtues, the source of all graces, the burning furnace in which are inflamed
all holy souls. Thou art the object of all God’s love; thou art the refuge of
the afflicted, and the abode of the souls that love thee, O Heart worthy of
reigning over all hearts, and of possessing the affection of all hearts!

O
Heart that was wounded for me on the Cross by the lance of my sins, and that
remained afterwards continually wounded for me on the altar in the Blessed
Sacrament, but not by any other lance than that of the love that thou
entertainest for me! O loving Heart, that loves men with so much tenderness,
and that is so little loved by men! Do thou apply a remedy to so great an
ingratitude, inflame thou our hearts with a true love for thee. Ah! Why can I
not go all over the world to make known the graces, the sweetness, the
treasures that thou dispensest to those who truly love Thee?

Accept the desire
that I have of seeing all hearts burning with love for thee. O Divine Heart! Be
Thou my consolation in trials, my repose in labours, my solace in anxieties, my
haven in tempests. I consecrate Thee my body and my soul, my heart and my life,
together with all that I am. I unite to Thine all my thoughts, all my
affections, all my desires.

O Eternal Father! I offer Thee the pure affections
of the Heart of Jesus. If Thou dost reject mine, Thou canst not reject those of
Thy Son, who is sanctity itself; may they supply what is wanting in me, and may
they render me pleasing in Thy eyes!

What is love? Pilate asked Quid est veritas? What is truth? The answer to that question lies in pondering what really love is. There’s an old saying that love makes the world go round. Yes it does I will say right from the start. It is the very essence of the human spirit. Divine love takes this love a notch higher. It uplifts the soul. When you find this love, you comprehend a little what truth is. I can’t explain what truth is but when you find out the truth, when you ask questions and you get the correct answers, you will find, in your heart, that Veritas liberabit vos (John 8:32). Yes, the truth will set you free. It is a kind of liberation, when the knowledge sets in and knowledge then will bring understanding, then the love comes in and unites everything. So love is always the end product.

...You must wonder why I'm suddenly blogging on such a topic - on making Decisions.
... As I was walking ... to the exam hall for my most recently over CA ... , and after saying the Angelus, it came to me that our lives are also based on the decisions that we make...

...“Behold the Lord, the Ruler is come; and a Kingdom is in his hand and power and dominion.”(Introit of Epiphany). His heart, as shown to St. Margaret Mary in her apparition, with the symbols of love (the flames and the cross), and the symbols of sorrow (the wound and the crown of thorns), tell us that Christ desires to rule over families and societies through love...

..."Indeed,” says St. Augustine, “Jesus is not a King who levies tribute, marshals mighty armies, or puts his enemies to the sword; He is a King who reigns in the hearts, who promises eternal goods, who will lead into the Kingdom of heaven all those who believe, who hope, who love.”...

...My King gave me His Heart ... My King gave me His Life ... My King gave me His All ... what more do I want? Nothing, except Him and Him alone! Fiat voluntas tua!

et cetera, et cetera, et cetera..(Deo volente)

=) God Bless!

EvolutionOUT series

...the point is just to present to you, the dear blog reader, with the facts, evidence etc. that I've read or am studying about or thinking about, from a variety of sources ... about the facts and scientific experiments and explanations that will show things against evolution, things that many of us lack the knowledge of. As Pope Pius XII said...

"God is a Lamb that avails yon not, my Christian,
If you become not also a lamb of God.
The cross on Golgotha redeems not from evil,
If it is not also erected in thee;
The dear Christ's death aids you not, my Christian,
Until in Him and for Him you also have died:"
- Angelus Silesius

Lex orandi, Lex credendi - The Law of Prayer, is the Law of Belief

If you wish to labor with fruit in the conversion of souls,
you must pour the balsam of sweetness upon the wine of your zeal,
that it may not be too fiery, but mild, soothing, patient, and full of compassion.
For the human soul is so constituted that by rigor it becomes harder,
but mildness completely softens it.
Besides, we ought to remember that Jesus Christ came to bless good intentions,
and if we leave them to His control,
little by little He will make them fruitful.
- Saint Francis de Sales

"For the word of God is living and effectual
and more piercing than any two edged sword and reaching unto
the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow:
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight:
but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.
Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.
For we have not a high priest who cannot have compassion on our infirmities:
but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.
Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace:
that we may obtain mercy and find grace in seasonable aid."
- Heb 4:12-16

In te, Domine, speravi, non confundar in aeternum. - Psalm 30:2
In Thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be confounded.
